Static electricity can be produced with a comb.
It is only after a build up of static electricity in the iron comb that will cause paper to be attracted to the comb.
When you comb your hair briskly with a plastic comb, it can create static electricity. Static electricity occurs when objects with opposite charges rub against each other, resulting in a buildup of electrical charges. This buildup causes hair strands to repel each other, leading to a crackling or popping sound.
static electricity is caused by the attraction or repulsion of electric charges. surfaces have the ability to transfer charges to each other. when you comb your hair that is what happens. your hair gives the comb so electrons so now the comb isnegativley charged. when you put the comb near the paper, all the negative charges in the paper move away and te positive chrages move toward the comb,this makes the paper cling to the comb
It's called static electricity. Static charges can attract or repel other static charges.
No.

Static.
The copper penny might get cleaner. If it were a rubber penny, then you would get static electricity.

The electricity created when combing your hair with a plastic comb is static electricity. The same affect is created when walking across a nylon carpet, or rubbing an inflated balloon on your nylon pullover. Children jumping up and down on the nylon net-floor of a trampoline often have their hair standing straight up - a sure sign of static electricity.

That is the static charge, which make a paper clip cling to a comb.
There are a good number of science fair projects about static electricity like: 1) bending water with static electricity. 2) picking up styro-foam or paper with static electricity. 1)Take a plastic comb, comb through long, dry hair at least 30 times. get a slow, steady stream of water running in the bathroom sink. put the comb about an 1/8 of an inch next to the water. voila!
